I bought some hornwort last night because I want a floating plant. I liked my moneywort, but it rotted. Ugh. Hornwort is cooler- I like how "fluffy" it looks. I read that it grows super fast, though, which is good. But I'm curious about the fact that it doesn't have roots. Can I separate it and break pieces off so that I will have more individual pieces rather than a big chunk? Will that affect it at all?

I ordered hornwort a couple months ago for my community tank, and *tried* to plant it... Didn't work! It dislodged itself from the sand and started floating, which is fine. I have cut some of my stems and they did just fine, so I think you could cut them in half and have more stems.

Cool, thanks!
Fishie ignores his, but I've seen both Shiny and my new female intently staring at theirs sometimes. lol. My female (I haven't picked a name yet) slept in it last night, I think (I used that weighted tie thing they use in the store to keep it weighted on the bottom. I looks like a Christmas tree in her tank. hehe).
